One script allows users to open a window with a larger map of the country. Another allows users to click on the target icon following the section headings, which shows or hides the URL of that section, allowing users to see the direct link to that section for blogs or other citations. (For more information on this capability, see the <a href="howtouse.php#addendum">Addendum 2006: Special Features of the Web Version OF CCIES</a>.) The last script shows the date when the Web page was retrieved, as noted in the item below. Some newer browsers warn users that javascripting is found on pages being accessed and the possible dangers, allowing users the choice of whether to block them or to allow them to run. We assure you that these scripts do nothing more than to provide the services noted above. They are safe to run.Did You Know?
